So my husband and I are TTC and and I always have a short list of favorite names. i have boys name picked but like with my son's pregnancy I have the hardest time finding a girl's name I love. Recently I ran across Isabeau in book and I kind of love it. Nickname Beau (a mild Lost Girl reference maybe?). What do you guys think about Isabeau?

Also I met a woman named Arika yesterday. Her mother named her Erica but when she was 22 she legally changed the spelling because she was "too special" for a normal spelling.

I was just coming to post the Once Upon a Time link! I think Isabeau is lovely and very feminine and princess-y. Beau is cute, but I'd be unable to stop myself from calling her Beauy (Bowie?). Not that that's a bad thing. I worry a bit about constant mispronunciation, but that shouldn't be a deal breaker.

My southern mama would say Beau is a "good ol' boy" name, but that wouldn't really be an issue out west, would it?



Arika is very...special. And even more special that she actually TELLS people she changed her name to be more special. Wow.
